Onspot Automatic Chain System: Full Product Presentation

Having good traction in winter is important for your safety, and it can also impact your productivity. Today, we’re introducing the Onspot automatic chain system, which will make you forget about traditional chains.

How does the Onspot system work and what are its advantages?

By “automatic chain system,” we mean that you don’t need to stop your vehicle to activate it. You simply press a switch to engage the system! The pneumatic actuator (booster) pushes the chains under the tires. When the switch is turned off, the chain wheel returns to its raised position, and you can continue driving without stopping.

What are the advantages of the product?

* Safety: The Onspot system is safer because you don’t need to stop on the roadside to install chains, unlike conventional chains.

* Cost savings: You save time and, therefore, money. Less downtime means more time on the road!

* Productivity: The Onspot system allows speeds of up to 55 km/h compared to 35 km/h with conventional chains—another efficiency gain!

On what types of vehicles can the Onspot system be installed?

The system can be installed on vehicles ranging from half-ton pickups to Class 8 trucks. It is commonly used on commercial vehicles such as propane trucks, delivery trucks, snow removal vehicles, emergency vehicles, school buses, and more.

Is maintenance required for long-term performance?

A grease point on the arm pivot can be serviced at the same interval as the truck’s regular greasing. It is recommended to activate the system once a week.

It is also possible to perform a visual inspection occasionally while the system is engaged, with the vehicle stationary, to ensure proper contact between the chain wheel and the tire.

Can the system stay on the truck year-round, or should it be removed in summer?

It is recommended to remove it. This can be done in less than 30 minutes. You only need to disconnect two bolts and one air line per side. This allows for a proper inspection and any necessary part replacements before storage.
